Kalaat Beni Abbes (L-474) (Arabic: (474) قلعة بني عباس) is an amphibious transport dock[2] of the Algerian National Navy.
The ship built by the Italian firm Fincantieri as an enlarged and improved version of the San Giorgio class.
[4][5] The first official docking - and commissioning ceremony - was on 28 March 2015 in the presence of the Chief of Staff of the ANP and the High Command of the Algerian National Navy.
[4] The ship is continuously assisted by three craft also built by Fincantieri, named Chaland, which can each carry a heavy tank or a maximum of 140 personnel.
The vessel also has a complete electronic warfare suite provided by Thales and Elettronica, linked to two SCLAR-H Oto-Melara decoy launchers.
